Let's not leave the family quite yet. I flew all the way from Florida, so we can stick around a little longer. This was a very very fun event. Rode over with Mark and Holly, and my presence was very much the surprise I wanted it to be.
This old Kent Feeds clock which is in Phil's shed is, quite surprisingly, from our father's grain elevator office in Seaton. I had no idea it still existed, and was quite fun to see again. Oddly, however, it runs backyard these days. I guess after over some 40 years it has a right to have a few gears stripped.
At one point Courtney, father of a newborn girl named Presley called me over and told me the story of these pink booties. He explained to me that my mother knitted those years and years ago and gave them to him to give to his children. A rather remarkable story, and unlike most booties, these stay on.

Phil and Jeanne are big Newfoundland owners so why not have one carved on your front door?

Well, guys, that about does it for first event back home. It was really nice to see everyone. This would have been worth the trip all by itself, but since we have more things to do, and little time to do it, it might very well be a fun trip after all. Thanks Phil and Jeanne, good job.
